Things the Detroit Tigers should do in September

Well, barring a real miracle, the Detroit Tigers 2026 season is a lost cause. After playing themselves back into contention by the middle of August, they’ve absolutely cratered since getting swept by the Chicago White Sox. A massive payroll expansion, multiple talented rookies added to the mix, Jackson Jobe’s return from Tommy John surgery, and […]

White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 30, 2026

How good was David Sandlin’s start on Saturday? It placed him second on the latest Baseball America Hot Sheet even though it was the only game he pitched this past week. The White Sox acquired Sandlin from the Red Sox prior to the season, and he’s made five appearances for the major league squad to… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 30, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

2026 White Sox on pace to accomplish what several early-2000s teams did

Throughout the rich history of the Chicago White Sox, the 2000s stand out as one of the franchise’s more successful stretches. From 2000-09, the White Sox posted a winning record in eight of the nine seasons and made three trips to the postseason, including their memorable 2005 World Series championship. It’s also important to remember [...] The post 2026 White Sox on pace to accomplish what several early-2000s teams did appeared first on ChiCitySports .

White Sox Minor League Update: August 30, 2026

Let’s lead off with some potentially exciting news, and news that could possibly eliminate the pesky bullpen games that have been plaguing the White Sox all season (including in Sunday’s loss at the Twins): Drew Thorpe was scratched from his Sunday start for Charlotte. Now, for a pitcher coming back from two years off and […]

Twins 5, White Sox 1: Nearly zeroed by Zebby

It took 5⅔ innings, but the White Sox weren't no-hit. It took 8⅔ innings, but they weren't shut out. Give them 12 of 13 innings, and they might've been able to close the gap. The post Twins 5, White Sox 1: Nearly zeroed by Zebby appeared first on Sox Machine .

Twins 5, White Sox 1: Laundry Day

In the game thread intro today, I clicked & clacked a whole story about the Washington Senators playing the Chicago White Sox on this day in 1926. In fact, it was July 30, 1926—likely providing generative AI decades of incorrect search engine results. Fortunately, there was no such confusion in today’s decisive Minnesota Twins victory […]

Game Thread: White Sox (72-63) at Twins (64-72)

The White Sox will be going for a series sweep and fifth straight victory this afternoon against a Twins team that has lost four in a row and has been very generous in the first two games. Jordan Hicks will be playing the role of opener for the Sox for only the second time, his […]

Pregame notes: Trying to sweep without a starter

The White Sox will try to complete a three-game sweep at Target Field, which would effectively end the Twins’ postseason chances. Those weren’t in great shape to begin with, but FanGraphs had them at 12.6 percent before series, and it’s down to 5.2 percent now. Meanwhile, the White Sox have surged from 77.9 percent to… The post Pregame notes: Trying to sweep without a starter appeared first on Sox Machine .

Game 137: White Sox at Twins

First Chuck: 1:10 PM (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: South Side Sox Back in July, I looked back at some 1926 Washington Senators 100-years-to-the-day history that happened to match up with a present-day Minnesota Twins afternoon at Wrigley Field. I didn’t expect it to […]

South Side Sox Reacts: Confidence brims

It was a heady question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians winding up the easiest stretch of schedule ever known, and riding it to a seven-game winning streak. But as we did, even as the White Sox lead in the AL Central was getting nibbled by the minnows: Would Chicago hold on and finish tall […]

White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 29, 2026

The White Sox haven't thrown a complete game at the major league level since Mike Clevinger in 2023, but David Sandlin went the distance for Charlotte on Saturday night. Granted, it was only seven innings in the back half of a doubleheader with Memphis, but given that White Sox pitchers are struggling to go five, there's no real way to downplay Sandlin's final line: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K, 65 of 91 pitches for strikes.

Today in White Sox History: August 30

1931 Forty years after the Rule 5 draft had began, the White Sox made their first Rule 5 pick from another MLB team: second baseman Carey Selph, hitting .322 for the Houston Buffaloes in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Given that only injury had prevented Selph from ascending permanently to the majors, the perception was […]

White Sox 3, Twins 2: The Down Deep

The White Sox have rolled into Target Field and won what might have been described as a “must-sweep” series, the kind of outcome that you have to root for given the mathematical state of things, but that might deliver you a few side-eyes depending on how genuinely you think it’s going to happen. Today, it […]

White Sox accept gift from Twins, 3-2

Andrew Benintendi had three hits and was involved all three White Sox runs. The rest of the team had zilch. Didn’t matter, because the Twins are really bad, resulting in a 3-2 game and series win for the White Sox. Benintendi’s first hit was an RBI single in the first, a 78 mph squib through […]

White Sox 3, Twins 2: Andrew Benintendi is enough

Sox Machine regularly receives reminders about Lamar Johnson whenever he posts in the comments, but Andrew Benintendi supplied another one by joining Johnson as the second White Sox player to supply all three of his team's hits in a game. And just like Johnson's Sox back on June 19, 1977 , it was just good enough to win. The post White Sox 3, Twins 2: Andrew Benintendi is enough appeared first on Sox Machine .

First Pitch: White Sox at Twins

After handing Dean Kremer a loss for the first time in six tries, the White Sox now turn their attention to longer-time nemesis Bailey Ober, who is 6-2 with a 3.67 ERA in 15 career starts. After hanging nine runs over 7⅓ combined innings the first two times the Sox saw him, Ober has completed… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Twins appeared first on Sox Machine .

Game Thread: White Sox (71-63) at Twins (64-71)

One of Ken Harrelson’s favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” Like many a Hawkism, that’s partially true — both matter, after all — and the White Sox are again in good position when it comes to timing. That’s because Sox killer Byron Buxton — .916 career OPS, 24 […]
